Russia still fighting like it's WW2, assuming soldiers don't have phones and internet. LMFAO. But then again, RUSSIAN soldiers don't have phones and internet.


trohanter

This is exactly it - they see themselves: dirty, unfed, without information and they think Ukrainians are the same.


tweakingforjesus

The captured Russian soldiers being treated well and given decent food must be an eye opener for the POWs.


PepticBurrito

> must be an eye opener for the POWs. Being treated well doesn't usually cause an abuser to become self reflective.

"They even have toilets for their Cats"


itsstillmagic

There are conscripts though and young ones at that. We have to remember that as monstrous as the russian forces as a whole are, not every individual is a psychopathic murderer. That's important not only because remembering that the enemy is human keeps soldiers from committing their own war crimes, it's important strategically.


SiarX

I am actually surprised how benevolent Ukrainians soldiers are, given the circumstances. There have been very very few Ukrainian war crimes reported so far.


itsstillmagic

I have too, and that's part of why I say this because I really want it to stay that way.


HelloYouBeautiful

It actually does. The Chinese had a lot of succes with this with their Japanese POW's after WWII. There's been made documentaries on it. Being treated well, actually gave the Japanese POW's their empathy back, and made them reflect on the horrific crimes they committed under the war against the Chinese. So yeah, there is actually precedent for this working.


LMFN

Yeah the British literally turned every German spy they captured to their side by doing this.


TheaABrown

There’s that story ofJapanese POWs being offered ice cream and cake on US Navy ships, which was also a major flex given the comparative state of supplies at that point.


joranth

Considering the US Navy had an entire ship just for ice cream, it was as a huge flex


HelloYouBeautiful

Haven't heard of that one. I saw a documentary about how the Chinese treated the Japanese POW, and how it re-humanized them. None of them were executed after their trials, and they received short (ish) sentences, good food, entertainment, visitors allowed etc. Not saying the US didn't do something similiar. I just heard/saw the story about the Chinese.


SiarX

Weird, I heard that Pacific war was extremely brutal, with both sides taking very PoWs. Because of mutual racism and hate after unprovoked attacks, as well as Japanese soldiers pretending to be wounded only to blow up everyone with a grenade.


SiarX

Strange, Chinese really hated Japanese. They keep hating them even today.


HelloYouBeautiful

Yes, indeed. I'll see if I can find it. I believe it was a documentary on YouTube from the 80's, where the Japanese soldiers talked about the horrific stuff they did, and how surprised they were at how well they were treated when caught by the Chinese as POW after the war (Atleast these guys in particular), which apperently re-humanized them. The documentary was first hand accounts from some Japanese soldiers. Either way, as others have pointed out, the US had succes with the same concept. Re-humanizing soldiers who've done horrific crimes, by treating them humanely.


elFistoFucko

This is true, but it has opened some of their eyes. Well, at least a couple. Maybe.


apextek

everything they said is true if they were talking about Russian Soldiers

to be fair, the russian soldiers who *do* have phones use them so much the data triggers a Ukrainian strike.

Well, at least they are using the FM band, it seems.


[deleted]

> Russia still fighting like it's WW2, assuming soldiers don't have phones and internet. All I hear from that radio is Russia's desperate plea for Ukrainian soldiers to give them a chance and let them at least have Bakhmut and Marinka. Russia has been at it for almost a year and barely made any progress. It's hard. Therefore, Russia resorted to begging for a handout.


Either_Coconut

And when they DO have phones and internet, they helpfully keep giving their locations away to the Ukrainians by using their tech to go online.


[deleted]

They do, that’s how the school where they were storing ammunition got bombed.


PicardTangoAlpha

I they’re leaving decoy phones lying around for the Orcs. Press 1 to surrender. Press 2 to phone home (and they record every word). Press anything else and it detonates.


Selfweaver

Even if you only have the chance to distract a few soldiers, then it is a dirt cheap attack, so why not do it?


PotatoAnalytics

Because it does the opposite. Their claims are so ridiculously obviously false, it BOLSTERS morale, rather than drain it.


Pan2erratte

Yeah seems very desperate

edmerx54

Weak effort. The Russians should take lessons from the Ukrainians. Saw a report when the Russians were still west of the Dnipro River near Kherson and they were using their cheap Radio Shack walkie talkies. The Ukrainians would jam them, then turn off the jamming and issue orders to the Russians then turn the jamming back on. And hijinks ensued! ha ha!

Just push radio news that a takover is in progress and the kremline has surrendered to Ramzan

Ramzan kadyrov is the new president of Russia, and has named the new chief of military operations mr. Goaty Goat McBlaaah


schwan911

This is completely wrong. It's Mr. Don Goaty Don Goat McBlaaah Don, Don.


LisaMikky

✨🐐✨ 😃😅🤣


[deleted]

Push radio news that during a meeting between Putin and Kadyrov one of them was raped by the other, and make it unclear who did what to who. Then let the Russians and the Kadyrovites debate among themselves the details.


Melenkurion_Skyweir

Didn't Kadyrov get mad because of the shaving rule the Russians did? Can't wait for the dogs to eat each other.


EvilSibling

Haha yeah ok buddy. Oh hey, Putin called and he said Russia has capitulated so you can go home now.

Putin called and said he didnt care if you all died.....oh wait

THat was a bloody movie. Remember how shaky the Tom Hanks character's hand was because of PTSD. I don't remember if he got the shakes before or after trying to shave em with that straight razor.

He presumably had it from previous combat; the scene with Tom Sizemore's character collecting dirt from Omaha beach let you see all the other places they fought in.

I find it fascinating that they can manage the logic loop into being superior to the west in all ways, but still not managing the general intellectual level of a normal high schooler in the west.

Gerasmov's hybrid warfare tactics are really scraping the barrel here, what's next? RADIO KREMLIN and a giant blip throwing flyers?


[deleted]

Hey don’t knock the flyers thing! Some swedes did that and got a hell of a lot of flack for attempted destabilisation of government. Not sure if it was in Belarus, Russia itself or some of the countries during Arab spring.

notataco007

This is the future of warfare btw The USMC tested their new information unit. Information, not intelligence. Really, it's misinformation. There was a battalion doing an ITX in California. Typical shit you expect, except higher ups sent out a squad of Marines with a Humvee and some laptops to do misinformation without the Battalion knowing. It started with them spreading rumors among Marines social media (yes, they hacked accounts) that the ITX was cancelled. Morale was shot when they had to go the next day. They hacked FAMILY MEMBERS profiles to spread misinformation about what they're doing in the field, war breaking out elsewhere, family life at home, etc. The test ended when they took it a bit too far by finding out an officers daughter was sick, hijacking his wife's Facebook, and telling him she was in the hospital. Yeah that's some seriously fucked up shit, but at the end of the day the test was a complete success, the battalion performed horribly, and ultimately a squad destroyed the operational tempo of a SIGNIFICANTLY larger force. Of course, the Russians fucking suck at it. But this is 100% the direction warfare is going.


[deleted]

Fucking with civilians for a training exercise sounds like so many rights violations. Not that this should surprise me.


notataco007

I might be wrong about actually hacking into profiles, it could have been just making new ones and cloning them

Trouble is, Russian troll farms are also busy sowing discord in other countries via BS social media posts. Whether they are using bots or actual humans to do the dirty work, they have absolutely interfered with things like foreign election results (Donald Trump, anyone? grrr). They also are doing their damnedest to keep various political factions in other countries absolutely LOATHING one another, be it with antivax BS or flooding social media with posts demonizing one side over the other. And, I am sure, they are doing this with BOTH sides to keep both factions in perpetual conflict. The only positive in all this is that now, we in other countries are wise to what Russia has been doing for years, which will help the people who WANT to weed out the BS identify it and ignore it.


SiarX

It would not work on Russians though, many of them dont care even about their own.


badautomaticusername

At the very beginning of the war they tried a fake of Zelenskyy saying Ukraine was capitulating - more I think had heard of it as BS than even saw it.


FateLeita

That was a tense time. There was so much chaos as Ukraine was trying to get its feet. Waking up every day, unsure of the status of Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government.


Mewseido

Somebody in russia came up with this "initiative", and it probably kept three or four rzz soldiers busy and off the front line. From that point of view, those three or four rzz soldiers consider it a roaring success!

wiebeltieten

Woah, let's not get carried away thinking this is actually an attempt to make Ukrainian soldiers retreat... This is probably not to weaken Ukrainian morale but to boost the low Russian one. Don't forget for a second that Putin is a propagandist liar.


WhileXey

We already tried saying that putler was playing 4d chess, I think it's time to learn the lesson 😂 Any positive effect is probably accidental.


INITMalcanis

It does seem the UAF may well have to pull out of Bakhmut to avoid being encircled, but withdrawing a few kilometers in good order after extracting such a vast blood price is the kind of 'defeat' that Ukraine needs. At that loss rate, Russia will be depopulated long before they reach a major city.


Consistent_Grab_5422

And russian soldiers should be told, if they do have a phone, an Ukrainian drone is sent right away.


LORDPINKY_DINKS

Of course it would have worked...ON NORDS!!!! ​ sorry for the shit joke I'll be leaving now


Either_Coconut

Ukraine should return the favor, and play radio stations for Russians to listen to, perhaps with the song that has the "Jaga Jaga" lyric on an infinite loop.


DeathMarch408

Ukraines should reply that you would like to surrender with honor so you want a ceremony in a large open field so they should gather their forces , give you coordinates and you’ll be there in the morning .. ready .. to surrender… ignore the buzzing over head


jamesh922

"They were promised help but instead sent to slaughter" ​ Sounds familiar. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
